Hi!
I'm so sorry that I've not been posting for a long time. Well, I'm back! :)
Anyway, we had an unofficial meeting on 29 March from 2.45pm to 4.45pm. On this day, the PLs were going to focus on helping the dear Secondary 1s to quickly complete their tenderfoot testings, so as to be able to enrol by the expected date.
We fell in at 2.45pm and as usual, PSes reported strength and we were then given 2 minutes to change out of our pinafores and return to the fall in area. There, inspection was carried out and the Agenda of the Day was read out too. After that, we were told to find an empty classroom and wait there for the PLs. Secondary 1s and seniors were to be separated. Upon falling out, everyone grabbed their writing materials and handbook and ran to find an empty classroom.
Soon, we started with our testings while Natalie and other PLs went to test the Secondary 1s who had yet to pass their colour party or other testings. Meanwhile, us seniors were to also do testings. Thus, we spent most of our time either studying our tesings or taking the testings. Everything went smoother that day as Natalie had already sent out a mass text to all PSes to tell their patrol members what testings they were suppose to study for. Hence, lesser time was wasted for everyone to learn their testings. Good job and thank you Natalie! :D
All this while, we did testings and the classroom was fairly quiet except occasionally when some of us got too noisy chatting and the noise level increased but only to soften again when any of the PLs told us to lower our volume. Other than that, we were rather well behaved. :D Time flew by quickly and before we knew it, it was fast approaching 4.30pm! Looks like we had gotten so engrossed in our studying that we had not noticed the time, which is quite a good sign. :)
Everyone then slowly started to finish off with whatever they had been doing and by then, 4.45pm had arrived and we all fell in. Announcements were made and Natalie commented on the progress of the Secondary 1s regarding their tenderfoot testings. She told them to study harder and encouraged all PSes to help their juniors if any of them had not passed their colour party. After that, we sang taps and the company bersurai-ed. Following that, we fell out and thank the PLs for the day and made our way home.
With tons of love,
Melissa! :)
